I've always loved playing in bands where there's like three or four people and we're all throwing out ideas and coming together to make an album.

When I look at music, everything is blurred, and I like it that way. I grew up like that, hanging out with different types of people who listened to so many different types of music. I never wanted to be part of any one clique. I loved it all.

In junior high, I sang in madrigals, men's' and women's' choir. I played piano too, but then I got out of it.

Put me up in front of a million people and ask me to speak. I'll flop. But put me behind my drums and I'll always go with it.

I looked Death right in the face.

I was told once if I kept breaking things on my legs, that I wasn't going to be able to walk soon, you know? I wanted to be a pro skateboarder, but it was too hard. I was trying, but it wasn't going to happen.

Usually, if I'm coming to Europe, I'm on a boat for seven days, so I spend the seven days doing a bunch of things. I'll do cardio for an hour or an hour-and-a-half and weights, just light weights.
